Peel (use a pairing knife of potato peeler), wash and lower the yam into equal measurement items. Be aware that the sticky sap could irritate your pores and skin, so put on loves or coat your palms with vegetable oil to create a barrier. * Watch the video under to se how I did it.
Place in a pot lined with water and convey to a boil. As soon as it involves a boil, scale back the warmth to a simmer and add the salt.
